BUREAU OF LABOR.
Commissioner Wright's Official Report
Of the Department
RELATIVE TO LOCKOUTS.
The First Investigation Ever Made by
ANY Nation Concerning This
Subject.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-COmmiS-
81 oner Carroll d. Wright has submitted
to the secretary of the interior report
of the bureau of labor, which relates en-
tirely to strikes and lOckOutS for the
period of six years ended Dec. 81, 1886.
This report is regarded as of special i'm
portance, as it is the result of the first
general investigation ever made by any
nation of the facts concern
ing strikes and lockOuts for any
extended period of time, or for
any wide extent of territory. The re-
port covers about 700 printed pages, and
gives the details of each strike and lock-
out occurring in the United States dur
ing the period named. 1t exhibits the
facts belonging to each industrial
trouble for each locality where the
trouble was found, without attempting
to establish or decide upon the connec-
ton between them. The following table
shows the numb2r of strikes occurring
during each of the last six years, the
number of establishments involved and
the average number of establishments
involved in each strike:
